Due to globalisation and increasing supply, consumption has moved ever further into the foreground. Low prices, discount actions and "Buy 2 for the price of one" tempt us to an increased buying stimulus, which turns into the well-known "buying frenzy". It is irrelevant what benefits the products have. The motto "get much for little" represents the modern market economy. The oversupply of products grows with time and manipulates our conscious perception. Here the question "Do I really need this?" is no longer relevant. It is simply bought if the product promises a low price at a high quantity. Now of course the following question arises: "How can I estimate what I need and what I can (should) do without" and does minimalism mean that from now on I can only have one outfit, have to sleep on the floor with a blanket and eat with my hands? Of course not!

In this book you will learn to deal with these questions and make conscious purchasing decisions. You will be able to differentiate and assess what added value a product has for you and whether the benefit actually meets your needs. Once you have understood the basic idea of minimalism, you will quickly realize how much money remains in the end. One thing can be promised in advance. You don't have to do without your beloved T-shirt or live a Spartan life. Minimalism begins with the decision in the mind. Together we will clarify in this book what it means to live minimalistically. You will receive a step by step guide to the implementation of your own minimalist life. With the help of the book you will understand the core ideas of minimalism and then be ready to put them into practice.
